Re: [USRP-users] rfNoc Replay Benchmark with N321

2021-01-04 Thread Jonathon Pendlum via USRP-users
Hi Dylan, Are you saying you want a flowgraph like this? Replay Block -> Radio TX Radio RX -> Host (2x 10GigE) If so, yes that is possible. See http://kb.ettus.com/USRP_N300/N310/N320/N321_Getting_Started_Guide#Dual_10_Gb_Interface for how to benchmark rx. Also, take note of the "second_addr" dev

Hi Tuan, A few of the in-tree RFNoC blocks do not have GRC support yet. The window block is one of them. That will come in a future update, although I don't have an exact timeline. Jonathon On Sun, Jan 3, 2021 at 11:24 PM Đình Tuấn Hoàng via USRP-users < usrp-users@lists.ettus.com> wrote: > Hi

Indeed, a 900Mhz duplexor with a 400Khz split is an extreme challenge. If the TX and RX really do need to operate at the same time on more or less the same frequency, then you have some plumbing to do for sure. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 5, 2021, at 12:07 AM, Marcus D Leech wrote: > > To

To do a little expectation-setting, the narrowband MDS of a modern, not that spectacular, UHF RX chain of better than -140dBm is not that unusual. So when I talk about a sensitive RX chain, I’m talking about those sorts of levels. In that kind of context, -24dBm seems deafeningly loud, and -80dB

Hi Marcus, Hmm, I think a duplexer is quite challenging because it would need an unphysical Q. This works for cellular with dedicated up-link and downlink. For a full-duplex system with same up/downlink (as in RFID), we have for example uplink = A*cos(2*pi*900MHz*t) and downlink = B*m(t)*c

If the TX and RX frequencies are a few 100kHz different then what you want is a duplexor arrangement where the TX frequency is strongly attenuated ahead of the RX. This is how repeaters work when multicoipled to a single antenna. The TX frequency is often attenuated 90dB in the RX path. Se

Hi Cédric, I'll attempt to answer your questions. I'm more familiar with the hardware/HDL side of things. 1. The default clock for rfnoc blocks is rfnoc_chdr_clk and this clock is always present. You can use this clock for everything, unless you need a different clock (e.g., a faster clock to inc
